This was a delicious MAIN dish, not side dish as noted in the article! I added a vine-ripened tomato to the boiling water at the end to blanch, then peeled and chopped it and added it along with a little chopped onion, and doubled the amount of salt since I forgot to salt the water. It was so good!

I was craving mac and cheese all day and decided to try this. If you love Indian food, you'll love this too. The fresh ginger is what makes it great. I added 2 cups milk and one cup nonfat yogurt. Don't use fresh garlic... bottled garlic paste is perfect for this one since it has the right mellow sweetness. I will definitely be making this again!
